The 1991 Volkswagen Corrado G60 was a bold, performance-oriented coupe that showcased VW's engineering ambition in the early 1990s. Positioned above the Golf GTi, it combined sharp handling with distinctive styling and innovative technology for its time. The G60 designation referred to its unique G-Lader supercharger, a spiral-type compressor that boosted the 1.8 litre inline‑four engine to produce around 160hp. This gave the Corrado brisk acceleration, reaching 0-60mph in just over eight seconds, impressive for a front‑wheel‑drive car of its era. Beyond performance, the Corrado G60 featured a driver-focused cockpit, supportive sport seats, and high-quality materials that set it apart from other VW models. Its aerodynamic body incorporated a sleek hatch design and an active rear spoiler that automatically deployed at higher speeds, a rare feature in its segment. Today, the 1991 Corrado G60 is celebrated as a distinctive, underrated classic that captured Volkswagen's pursuit of innovation and character.

This rare 1991 Volkswagen Corrado G60 with only three owners has the five-speed manual gearbox and was purchased by the current owner in 1998. In his ownership he has spent £14,000 on having the engine rebuilt and all the mechanics gone through with J Tech Automotive and £9,000 spent on restoring and repainting the car with Caversham Coachworks. Finished in blue with a black leather interior it is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in July 2026, handbook pack, a service book which is stamped up to 1999 and invoices from J Tech Automotive to present day. The G60 variant has developed a strong following amongst collectors and marque enthusiasts, with sound examples becoming increasing scarce. Consigned by John Tomlin
